- Anvilicious: The anti-racism message of "Black or White", and accepting people for who they are. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; remember that Tropes Are Tools.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The infamous ending of "Black or White" features a panther temporarily transforming into Jackson and proceeding to smash up a car in a fit of rage along with a weird dance thrown in-between, complete with even weirder crotch-grabbing mannerisms. Then it's revealed that the whole thing was being watched by Bart Simpson all along, but neither thing really has anything to do with the song proper.
- Covered Up: More people are familiar with the Jackson version of "Gone Too Soon" than the original by Dionne Warwick, to the point where Usher performed it at Jackson's funeral.
- Slow-Paced Beginning: Michael Jackson became prone to this post-Thriller. Like Meat Loaf, he also has cases of starting fatigue.
- The two-minute intro of "Will You Be There", with two choral preludes that were understandably cut everywhere else. Some would say it is also a victim of the other extreme with the prayer-like outro omitted from the radio edit.
- "Black or White" has an intro that while not slow, it's still extraneous.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: The face morph scene in the end of "Black or White" definitely counts.
